Cathy's Cheer Competition

My sister's step-daughter was in a cheer competition a few weeks back. It was nice to go watch the different performances by some many different schools. Cathy's school took 3rd in their division. We are really proud of her.

She is the one in the center back row.

Legoland Water Park

On our second day at Legoland Henry and the kids went and hung out at Legoland Water Park. I didn't want to get wet, so I walked the shops. I did go into the water park for a little bit and snapped some pictures.

Hey, look at me.

Ally and Ryan floating down the river. They were a little uncertain of going without their dad at first. So Henry walked behind them their first time through.

We loved Legoland. I think my kiddos were the perfect age for this amusement park. I loved seeing so many things made out of Legos. Who knows....If I can convince Henry to buy a time share in that area we just might go again some day. LOL

The Beach

Our hotel was only a couple blocks from the beach. So, after the first day at Legoland we drove down to the beach. It was awesome! The area we were at was not a tourist spot. We drove through a neighborhood and parked on the side of the road. We walked along a small path to a stairwell that headed straight to the beach.

There were a couple surfers out on the water and occasionally a jogger would run by, but other than that, we pretty much had the entire beach to ourself.

This picture is the background on my computer. I love this picture.

Waiting for the waves.

Ryan fell in love with the water. Henry had to hold on tight to him because he kept trying to run into the waves.

Waiting for it.....................................

And it hits! I can not say enough how much Ryan loved the water. He kept licking his fingers and saying "yum, it's salty". I think he might be a surfer when he grows up.

Beautiful.

Ally enjoyed the water. However, she was focused on finding sea shells. So Ally and I walked up and down the beach looking for seashells.

Ally did not want to stop looking for seashells. She was heartbroken when it was time to leave.

I fell in love with this spot. I have been looking online for a timeshare in this area. I would love to return to this spot.
